Observe the metal hooks on your keyboard. The larger metal hooks can be at the top,

closely. The smooth part of the retainer
clip hinges always faces away from the keyboard. Take the smaller plastic retainer clips and observe
that it has two square sticks at the right top and bottom corners, two sticks
at the middle and a bar at the left. The sticks in the middle are going to go

Insert the bars on either side into the metal hooks. Push it
evenly to insert completely. Get a thin object or blade and stretch the plastic
pieces so that it clicks together.

Take your key cap and place it in the middle of your
retainer clips. Push down evenly from
all four sides so that your laptop key attaches to the plastic clips.
